Publisher Description
Disgraced soap opera star, Samantha Rathbone desperately flees the lights and glamour of Hollywood, California for Heywood, Arizona, an idyllic small town with some big secrets. She longs for a quiet life free of the drama, crime, and the dead husband she's left behind.
Murder, mayhem and mischief have other plans for her.
Join Sam as she tries to navigate her new life in a small town with the help of her quirky friends… and one cute cop.
Herbs and Homicide
After her husband's brutal killing and her fall from the Hollywood elite, the disgraced Samantha Rathbone moves to Heywood hoping to forget her past and live a quiet life of anonymity as Sam Jones.
When her boss ends up dead, Sam is the number one suspect. Will Samantha be able to find the murderer before she's put away for a crime she didn't commit?
Lavender and Lies
As Samantha Jones, a former daytime television star, tries to assimilate into the small community of Heywood, her life is upended when her friend, Gina, is arrested for murdering her abusive ex-husband.
Even though every shred of evidence points at Gina being the true killer, Sam can't believe her friend would murder one of the most hated men in town.
A turn of events leads her down an unexpected path, but will this path lead Sam to the real killer, or will an innocent person rot in prison for the rest of her life?
Mint and Murder
Deputy Jordan Branson is accused of murder in order to cover up a departmental investigation into his questionable behavior. He asks former Hollywood starlet, Sam Jones, to help him find the real killer.
The problem?
Sam isn't sure she believes in his innocence.
To prove to herself she's not a horrible judge of character, Sam dives into the case. But will she uncover the truth before the real killer gets to her next?
Customer Reviews
Cozy small town … and murder?
I found this series on Booksprout and read books 4 and 5 first. I loved them and was excited to go back and read books 1-3. Reading these stories filled in some of the background information on Sam, the town and townspeople.
Each story is a cozy murder mystery. New characters are introduced or current characters are featured in each mystery. Sam and Jordan, a police officer, start dancing around their interest in each other as they work together to figure out what happened.
I absolutely love this series! Whether you started in the middle like me or you’re looking for a new series to explore, these books are great!
